Bantam Q's

[jrow58]

Im ordering bantams (first time) and have regular chickens.
Q 1: is it OK to keep bantams with regular sized chicken?
Q 2: The bantams are only straight run (ordering from mcmurray hatchery) will roosters fight if i end up with a TON of roosters


Thanks

You can keep them together with standard size chickens. Hard to say if they will fight or not. Most of the time the roos will fight each other, but I have also seen them get along great.

Silkies my not be to bad to fight each other. Ive never had any of those. So I cant help you much there.

My Silkie was the beta roo for quite a bit of time (Hey we thought he was a she until he crowed)

The Silkies seem to be the most mellow, docile birds I've ever met

We have a mixed sized flock and everybody gets along.
